Is your PC currently running Windows 11 Home in Safe Mode?

What is the exact error message you receive when you try to install Microsoft Store apps or other applications on your device? Could you please share a screenshot of the error, if possible?

Try these steps in order on the PC where apps will not install:

1. Restart the PC
   • If Windows Updates were recently installed, a restart is required before apps from Microsoft Store or other installers can be installed.
2. Reset the Microsoft Store cache (if the issue is with Store apps)
   • Press Windows key + R.
   • Type wsreset.exe and select OK.
   • A blank Command Prompt opens; after about 10 seconds it closes and Microsoft Store opens automatically.
   • Try installing the app again from Microsoft Store.
3. Check common Microsoft Store install blockers
   • Make sure the app is available in the current country/region set in Windows.
   • If using a child account, check Microsoft family settings so they are not blocking app installs.
   • Confirm the app is still available in Microsoft Store and not removed.
   • Ensure the PC is signed in with a Microsoft account and is authorized to use Microsoft Store apps. See Add a device to your Microsoft account from the linked docs.
4. Reinstall Store apps already owned (if they disappeared)
   • Open Microsoft Store.
   • Select See more (three dots) > My Library.
   • Select the app and choose Install.
5. If the problem is with classic desktop programs (not from Store)
   • Use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter to fix issues that block installing or removing programs and to repair corrupted registry keys.
   • Download and run the troubleshooter from the official link in the context and follow the on-screen steps.

If apps still will not install after these steps, note any specific error code or message shown during installation and use that to narrow further troubleshooting.
